History
The Porta Portuensis was one of the gates of the Aurelian Wall of Rome, located in the Transtiberim. The original gate carried an inscription of Honorius and was destroyed during the reign of Pope Urban VIII. The present Porta Portese, built by architect Vincenzo Maculani in 1644, occupies its site.
